What is a good rowing ergometer (erg) time? How do you stop the clock?
I’ve been using the Concept2 machine for two months now. Yesterday I did 1000m in 3:37. I had to adjust my foot strap because my foot came loose a couple times so that probably cost me a few seconds. I think my form is good because I try to use my legs and keep my back straight. I’m just training by myself three to four days a week for 20-30 minutes and making up my own workouts. I’m 5’11.5″ tall, 166 pounds but I’m just doing this as cross-training for running.
At what time can you say you’re decent on the erg? My endurance isn’t that good and I’ve only gotten 7:3x for 2000m. Would under 6:50 be a good time for my height? My plan is to try to get comfortable doing 500m under 1:40 and 1000m under 3:20 and then try for a good 2000m time. Is there a way to pause the clock when you have to adjust yourself? Have any workouts or tips?
